A triangular sail has a base length of 2.5 centimeters. The area of the sail is 3.75 square meters. How tall is the sail?

Mathematics

The area of any triangle = (1/2) x (length of the base) x (height)

2.5 centimeters  =  0.025 meter

The area of the sail is           (3.75) = (0.5) x (0.025) x (height)

Multiply each side by  2 :      (7.5) =            (0.025) x (height)

Divide each side by  0.025 :  (7.5)/(0.025) = height  =<em>  300 meters</em>

The situation is stupid, but the math is bullet-proof.

a tea company surveyed shoppers at two different malls. shoppers were asked whether they prefer sweetened or unsweetened tea. at
FromTheMoon [43]
First, let's create the ratios of sweetened to unsweetened. To do this, you would have to subtract the number of people that preferred unsweetened from the total.
Westside mall: 15:30 or \frac{15}{30}
Eastside mall: 13:26 or \frac{13}{26}

Now, you would divide to both ratios.
15 ÷ 30 = 0.5
13 ÷ 26 = 0.5 

They have the same sum, meaning, they are the same. 

Westside Mall shoppers are just as likely to prefer unsweetened tea as Eastside Mall shoppers. 

I hope this helps!

Find the constant of proportional (r) in the equation y = rx​
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Constant of proportionality,  

Step-by-step explanation:

Constant of proportionality states that the constant value of the ratio of two proportional quantities x and y,

it is written in the form of y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality.

Given the equation:                         .....[1]

where r is the constant of proportionality.

From the table we consider

x = 14 and y = 1.4

Substitute these given values in [1] to solve for r;

Divide both sides by 14 we get;

therefore, the Constant of proportionality,
